Special Encounter // Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft

Christian talk radio with Chris Meikel

Missouri’s trigger law that outlaws abortion in the state except in cases where the life of the mother is in danger, went into effect as soon as Roe versus Wade was overturned via the Dobbs United States Supreme Court decision. In its wake, 18 initiative petitions have been filed with the Secretary of State’s office which, if any of them was successful in amending the state constitution, could allow limitless abortion without restrictions in Missouri. Eben Fowler and Andrew Yates talk with Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft about the role his office has in the petition and amendment process, and a recent court case that greatly diluted the potential ballot language that would end up on the Missouri ballot if the petition process is completed.
